A New Chapter Begins: Rem Bonifacio III Installed as RC San Fernando La Union's 68th President

A new era of leadership officially began for the Rotary Club of San Fernando (La Union) as Remigio "Rem" Bonifacio III was formally inducted as the 68th President during the club's Joint Induction Ceremonies on July 7, 2026, at the La Union Convention Center. Held under the inspiring theme "A Sky Full of Stars," the ceremony marked not only the passing of the gavel but also the continuation of a proud legacy of service, fellowship, and leadership that has defined the club for nearly seven decades.

Surrounded by fellow Rotarians, dignitaries, family members, and distinguished guests, President Rem accepted the mantle of leadership with humility and purpose. His induction symbolized more than a change in administration—it reflected the club's unwavering commitment to building on its rich tradition of excellence while embracing new opportunities to serve the community with greater passion and innovation.

The induction also celebrated the spirit of unity that has long distinguished the Rotary Club of San Fernando (La Union). As one of District 3790's most accomplished clubs, RCSFLU enters the new Rotary Year with renewed enthusiasm, strengthened partnerships, and a shared vision of creating sustainable change through impactful service projects, leadership development, and community engagement.

With President Rem Bonifacio III at the helm, the club looks forward to another year of purposeful service and meaningful accomplishments. As the ceremonial lights dimmed and the evening concluded, one message remained clear: leadership is not measured by the office one holds, but by the lives one inspires and the impact one leaves behind.
